The New York Yankees played their first intrasquad game, the Yankees against the Bronx Bombers. The game wasn’t played to see who would win, but to have pitchers get in their work and players to get to hit against live pitching. The game was broadcast live by the YES Network with Micheal Kay and David Cone calling the game from their respective homes. In the game, the Yankees overtook the Bombers 1-0.
The game was bizarre from the start. We have talked about no fans in the stands, but last night presented the reality of that, it was eerily quiet and spooky.
